NAZARETH AGAINST NICE. An Impartial Re-
view Of the Existing Churches, their Creeds and
Principles. For sale by W IL. Morrison, WASH
ingtOn, ID. C.. Price. sl.25.
The author-a layman, and the devOtee of
no existing sect, but q believer in the word of
God pure and simple-has written his book
under the impression that in selecting a Church
the rising generation should enjoy the benefit
OfsOme impartial advice-nOt guidance exactly,
but friendly advice. Upon no subject is so lit
tie generally known among the masses Of our
people and the people Of all Christian eOun-
tries, as of the history of the various and num-
erous sects which compete for public rec0gni-
ton. In order that he may not compromise
his integrity, the author goes back to the begin
ming and first days of Christianity for doctrine
and example, rather than to the compulsory
system which grew out Of the political neces-
sites of the Roman Empire and Emperor in the
fourth century of the Christian Era. Accord
ing, therefore, to the views of the author the
system which grew out OF the DEGREES of the
Council of Nice pronounced Neeee) should be
correctly entitled the COnstantinian Faith,
forced upon mankind by very severe penalties
under the immediate presence Of powerful mill
tary forces. 1t can, in the strictest truth BIO
said, that but for the presence of the Bible in
the hands of the majority of our clergy and
people acting as a perpetual corrective, it would
not be easy to tell 10 what extravaganees
We should have arrived. The book before
US reviews IL denominations, addressing itself
to the peculiarities of each.
